In my opinion the fact being ignored in all the political posturing, is that this country is spending more that it earns. In our personal household budget, this would lead to a decision to spend less, and live within our means.

Many in Congress think the solution is to spend more and earn more by increasing the tax income and borrowing more from bond buyers. We all can see that this will increase the debt even more, but many in Congress and the Administration think this will all work out somehow, so keep spending and borrowing.

Meanwhile, the population is being trained to expect the government to relieve their daily problems with a check or alternative free goods. Self reliance, personal responsibility are no longer considered necessary, ‘cause the GOV will take care of us. This training has been going on since Roosevelt’s time by both political parties, but is now on supercharger mode by the current administration, and is probably going to destroy the wonderful country we all have been blessed to live in.
